Frozen Spider Peeler Crab – Natural Sea Fishing Bait

Our Frozen Spider Peeler Crab is a natural sea fishing bait for anglers targeting cod, bass, smoothhounds and wrasse.

These larger crabs offer a great alternative to traditional shore crab peelers. Their generous size allows you to prepare substantial hook baits or cut smaller sections to suit different fishing conditions.

Each crab is sold individually and packed loose rather than vacuum packed. This helps protect the delicate bait during packaging.

Why Choose Our Spider Crabs?

  • Large Natural Bait – Suitable for substantial hook presentations.
  • Sold Individually – One crab per order unit.
  • Loose Packed – Not vacuum packed, helping prevent compression.
  • Versatile Preparation – Use larger portions or cut into smaller sections.
  • Frozen for Convenience – Keep bait ready for future fishing trips.

What Fish Can You Target?

Spider peeler crab is a useful natural bait for cod, bass and smoothhounds. However, anglers can also try smaller sections when targeting wrasse around rocky ground.

For example, larger portions may suit cod and bass fishing. Alternatively, smaller pieces offer a more compact presentation for lighter tackle.

How to Prepare Your Bait

First, allow the crab to thaw sufficiently for careful handling.

Next, choose a suitable portion for your hook size and target species. Remove any loose shell sections where necessary to expose the softer body.

Then secure the bait with elastic to help keep it in place during casting. However, avoid wrapping it too tightly, as this may damage the soft crab material.

Always keep the hook point exposed.

Storage & Handling

Keep frozen until use. Thaw only what you need for your fishing session. Also, handle raw crab bait carefully and keep it separate from food.

FAQs

What Can I Target With Spider Crab Peelers?
Spider Crab Peelers are a popular and effective bait for catching a variety of sea fish, especially in the UK. Species like bass, cod, smooth-hound, and rays are known to readily take peeler crab bait.
Why Peeler Crab is Effective?
The natural scent of the crab, particularly when it's soft after shedding its shell, attracts fish from a distance. Spider peeler crabs can be large, so cutting them into smaller pieces or quarters can be effective.
